But please don't let the Riedels know about that.<br /><br />The wine consuming public (aka the<br />"masses") buys into every silly bit of wine info they hear. I tell my students (early on), buy inexpensive glasses at Cost Plus or Pottery Barn, because the more expensive the glass the faster you will break it and you HONESTLY don't need a different glass for every variety.<br /><br />But it would be great for you to be my student, big boy!

This would have been catastrophic, but I was having goat cheese, and so the wine glass was perfect. It's always best to select the glass to go with your food, then it doesn't matter what wine you put in it, it's a match!<br /><br />Hey, I want to take one of your classes, Darling!
